It’s Super Bowl Sunday, in case you haven’t heard, and I’m already whipping up some pregame appetizers. Tostaditas con Carne are a big hit any day of the week and quite tasty!

Tostaditas con Carne

What you need:

6 oz./170 g skirt steak

8 pre-packaged corn tostada shells

½ cup reduced-fat shredded sharp

cheddar cheese

½ lime, juiced with Lemon Lime Press

salt and pepper

Pico de Gallo

2 medium tomatoes, quartered

¼ small red onion

½ cup fresh cilantro

Southwest Chipotle Sauce

½ lime, juiced

½ cup reduced-fat sour cream

¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo

1 tbsp. Simple Indulgence™ Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend

Directions:

Season the skirt steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat fry pan over high heat. Once pan is hot, cook steak for 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest 5 minutes. Cut steak into bite-sized pieces.

Combine, lime juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. In base of Quick Chef™ Pro System fitted with blade attachment, add tomatoes, cilantro and onion. Turn handle to process until coarsely chopped-don’t have the Quick Chef system, simple chop coarsely with knife.Empty the mixture into a small bowl.

To make the Southwest Chipotle Sauce, add lime juice, sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper and seasoning blend to the base of Quick Chef™ Pro System fitted with blade attachment. Turn handle to whip until combined – A blender, food processor or simple mix by hand will work as well.

It might be past Super Bowl but his looks great for any day. I love this kind of "fix it yourself" meal. It is a fun way to mingle while you eat. Everyone seems to have more fun with these kinds of get-together meals! This one is a winner!
